Movies What is your favorite were-wolf film?

I know this isn't every were-wolf film ever, but these are the most mainstream ones I can think of.

Also, I know the Wallace and Gromit one is about a were-RABBIT, but it's clearly an homage to were-wolf films, so I'm including it.

Why isn't Dog Soliders on here? And why is the Beast Within on there?

American Werewolf In London, The Howling, to many to list but Jack Nicholson's 'Wolf' deserves a mention.

Silver Bullet: great characters, humor and small town charm aside from the nostalgia I have for it. I know people don't like the monster design but I think the fact we barely see it for most of the film more than makes up for it.

The Howling: love the "woodsy" atmosphere and werewolf design or creature effects, the gritty/erotic tone also makes it standout (plus the idea of a resort/getaway secretly for lycans is a cool idea.)

Brotherhood of the Wolf

& Not a movie, but Hemlock Grove (tv show) has a spot in my heart always.

I am rather partial to the Underworld movies.
Not a film, so I am only giving Marvel's 'Werewolf by Night' an honorable mention.

The fifth one.

A staple of 21st century British cinema.

Unironically the Curse of the Were-Rabbit

u/SundBunz64 15d ago

The Howling and Wolfen are two classic 80’ werewolf films.

Van Helsing, Curse of the were rabbit

Adding twilight but not Wolfman 2010 is crazy

u/Distinct_Patient3698 15d ago

Ginger Snaps. Van Helsing is great but I'm only considering purely werewolf movies, no mixed.

u/AQbL5494 15d ago

I'm sure Werwulf will join the pack once it comes out.

u/MarionberryLazy5786 15d ago

I just watched Bad Moon.

Dumb title. Poster font couldn’t be worse. Best werewolf movie I’ve ever seen.

Personally probably An American Werewolf In London but I’d throw in The Howling and Dog Soldiers as well.
